JavaServer Faces and table

Hello,
I need to create a table as the following with a single column and more rows. I think I need a datatable component because my data are in a list but how can I display all the information in a single column?
Thanks and bye,
Giordano
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" id="AutoNumber1">
<tr>
<td width="100%">Title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">Authors</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">Info</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%"> <hr></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">Title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">Authors</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">Info</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%"> <hr></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">Title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">Authors</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">Info</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%"> <hr></td>
</tr>
</table>

A couple of choices:
1. Transpose your data source list control so it can be used with a datatable.
basically turn the columns into rows in the list control bound to datatable.
2. Use a custom datatable that does what you're looking for. There are a few out
there that do similar things to what you're looking for in case you don't want to
build it yourself. I would not suggest that you do since some people already
did it

JavaServer Faces and Struts

For those of you interested in using JavaServer Faces and Struts together (and my mailbox indicates that this is quite a few people :-), I'm happy to announce the immediate availability of an integration library that allows you to use the EA3 release of JavaServer Faces with a recent nightly build (20030216 or later) of Struts 1.1 -- it will also work with the upcoming 1.1-rc2 and 1.1-final releases -- together. Nightly builds of the integration library are available at <http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/nightly/struts-faces/>.
The sources for this package are in the Struts CVS repository, in the "contrib/struts-faces" directory, and will be included in the source nightly distributions starting with the 20030307 version. It is not currently planned to include the struts-faces integration library with binary distributions of Struts 1.1, since it is still an EA quality release.
See the README.txt file (included in the nightly build) for more information on running the example application and using the integration library in your own applications.

What are the reasons not to have extended
RequestProcessor from Struts with the
capabilities of the FacesServlet... a sort of
"FacesProcessor" (extended the regular
RequestProcessor)? (should be nice for views
with no JSF components: in order not to execute
FacesServlet for each views , event if there is
no JSF component in the view)It turned out that I needed a customized RequestProcessor anyway (a couple of the processXxx methods had to work differently), but it actually would have been more work incorporating FacesServlet directly into it. In essence, there is now (in the combined version) a "front controller" for UI events , FacesServlet, and a "middle controller" for form submit events (RequestProcessor). When a UI event happens that just causes the current page to be redisplayed (think of a tree control where you click on the "expand this node" icon), you don't really want the Struts controller servlet to even be bothered by this request. Indeed, if you're using a presentation that was based on DHTML+Javascript, such an event would have been handled on the client anyway, and would never have been sent to the server at all.
The combined approach still supports Faces and non-Faces pages, though. This means you can migrate one page at a time and test things (which is exactly what I did when I ported the pages of the example app).

JavaServer Faces and JavaFX

Is JavaServer Faces and JavaFX the same?

Nope, Java FX was only announced in May 2007 whereas JSF has been around for a few years now. JSF is a framework and JavaFX are a series of products.
Try looking up Wikipedia for the info:

JavaServer Faces and Portal Servers

Hi all,
Do you think JavaServer Faces will have substantial applications in developing the user interface for a portal server? To me, it seems like the whole portal page with the tabbed panes and other gadgets could be one large JavaServer Faces component, composed of many smaller JavaServer Faces components. The user interface for a portlet for instance would be a smaller component that is a part of the larger portal page component. Does this make sense to you?
Your ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Mete

Hello Craig,
Thanks very much for your reply. I think this topic is an exciting one: Making portal servers and portlets integrate well with JavaServer Faces.
You said that JavaServer Faces will make it easy for portal servers to contain portlets that have JavaServer Faces components in their GUI, but understandably this does not mean that portlets will be required to have a GUI that is made out of JavaServer Faces. The portal server should be tolerant to any kind of GUI that a portlet may be using. So, how would a portal server that has its portal layout built completely with JavaServer Faces work well with portlets that do not have a JavaServer Faces GUI? Would JavaServer Faces make it easy to to embed GUI markup from non-Faces portlets into a portal page that is generated by a master JavaServer Faces component that encapsulates the whole portal page layout?
How could a scenario like this be handled:
The user device is a handheld device, so the master portal page JavaServer Faces component decides to use a WML renderer for generating the portal page instead of an HTML renderer. All of the JavaServer Faces enabled portlets are generated using the WML renderer, but the portlets that do not have a JavaServer Faces GUI cannot be rendered in WML. What should the master portal page JavaServer Faces component do in this case?
Thanks,
Mete

JavaServer Faces and servlet???

Dear All,
I'm very new to J2EE. I'm wondering, when should we used Java Servlet?
If we develop with JavaServer Faces technology, do we code any servlets? I came accross the FacesServlet. The book says that it is included with the JavaServer Faces API and it seems that I don't need to write any code for this class.
I'm very confuse. PLease help me...

did you maybe forget to specify the /faces/* prefix within the URL?
You have to configure the faces servlet to a prefix path and specify it within your URLs...

JavaServer Faces and Data Bases - Help me!

I am beginning in JSF and I have that to create one aplication using JSF.
somebody could indicate me a site or send for me code samples of JSF and data base, using insert, delete and update?
since already I am thankful!

Serarch google for "JSF CRUD table". Also, please read SUN JDBC tutorial.

JavaServer Faces and J2EE 1.4

I have been trying to load the JSF sample .WARs from the Java Web services development pack but the J2EE verifier tool and the application server won't accept the .WAR giving me the following error:
Error loading C:\Java\jwsdp-1.2\jsf\samples\jsf-cardemo.war: The content of element type "web-app" must match "(icon?,display-name?,description?,distributable?,context-param*,filter*,filter-mapping*,...
Is there some way to configure the application server so that it will accept the JSF .WARs, or am I bettter off calling my EJBs from the provided JSWDP Tomcat server? I need the J2EE application server because I am using EJBs in my application.
Any information would be helpful.

I manged to fix the deployment descriptor by changing the web-ap declaration:
<web-app version="2.4" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
I also altered the xml declarationg at the beginning to the following, just in case it made a difference:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
This change seemed to make the verifier tool happy but the server choked on the .war file and caused the server to crash issuing about 6k of errors and warnings that started as follows:
<[WARNING][j2eesdk1.4_beta2][][][14][org.apache.commons.beanutils.MethodUtils][30.October.2003 09:51:27:873 EST][Cannot setAccessible on method. Therefore cannot use jvm access bug workaround.

Does the phrase "cannot use jvm access bug workaround" mean that there is a bug with virtual machine that JSF manages to bring up?
From what I understand JSF uses Tomcat 5.0 and the Application Server uses parts of Tomcat. Are there some resources that the application server needs to reference in order to be able execute the jsf applications?

It says "Struts is dead, live JSF" (bad translation maybe...)

Selecting the JavaServer Faces in the Frameworks list diables FINISH button

I create a new Web Application in Netbeans 5.5.1 by clicking the new project item from the FILE pull down list. I complete steps 1 and 2 and continue to step 3, FRAMEWORKS. A list of possible frameworks are listed with unchecked checkboxes. I highlight the JavaServer Faces and put a check in the checkbox. As soon as the checkbox is checked, the FINISH button becomes disabled. If I uncheck the JavaServer Faces, the FINISH button is enabled.
What do I do to allow JavaServer Faces when creating a new web application project?
It is not only the JavaServer Faces checkbox that disables the FINIISH button, ALL of the frameworks listed disable the FINISH button when I check them.

Resolution: In Netbeans 5, click on the TOOLS menu pull down list. In that list, select Module Manager. A node listing of modules is displayed. Scroll down to the WEB node and click on the plus (+) to list the web modules. Uncheck the GWT4NB in the Active column. In my case it was version 1.3.4. Also uncheck the Struts Support in the active column, my version was1.3.30.1

How do I use Struts Tiles with JavaServer Faces?

I want to use JavaServer Faces and need something like tiles.
Is it right that tiles is for struts what Portlets is for JavaServer Faces?
Do I have to use Portlets or is there something else?
What Do I have to do to use Portlets?
Do I have to use any "engines" or something like that?
Thanks

Miikee_
I guess you understood me wrong!
JSF RI (and also MyFaces) are implementation of JavaServer Faces Spec.
Each JSF app needs to be deployed inside of a Servlet Container.
(like Tomcat). An no, they aren't coming up with an own servlet engine.
But... you can also run MyFaces and the RI inside of an portlet container
(eg pluto) instead of Servlet Container.

Stored procedure, EJB, JPA, and JavaServer Faces

Hi!
I am currently working on a Web application using EJB, JPA, and JavaServer Faces. A part of the
business logic is already stored in the database as stored procedures, so we need to call those
procedures (instead of named queries) through a EJB and represent the data on the web tier.
Where can I find an extensive tutorial using this technology? There is no such tutorial in the Oracle Learning Library.
Maybe somebody can provide a link and/or example.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

The status and statement about Oracle embrace JavaServer Faces

Hi all:
Have any expert could talking about the status and statement about Oracle embrace JavaServer Faces standard,
whether Jdeveloper 10g have full support this standard now, and UIX direction ?

development based on oracle technology and tool, If we wish adopt JavaServerFace technology, we should direct using Sun Java standard library or oracle UIX technology,
give us some suggestion, how to start JavaServerFace application development ? is start from UIX ? and what is learning step ?

Integrating Struts, Tiles, and JavaServer Faces

I have tried some sample applications in jsf. They are working properly. Basically, our application is based on struts. We fee that that it will be difficult to convert struts based application into jsf. So we plan to integrate jsf components into struts application. I found a site http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-integrate/ where jsf-struts integration material has been given. For this integaration, struts-faces.jar is required. when i try to start the server after struts-faces-1.3.8.jar placed in Tomcat 5.5\common\lib folder, server is not started properly. I have found struts-faces-1.3.8.jar in struts-1.3.8-lib. Should I user struts-faces.jar? if it is so, Where to find struts-faces.jar Please provide a solution for this problem.

Wow, Srikanth. What a great contribution! I'm right at the begining of the design phase of a project that will hopefully go live in March and while I had already settled on a Tiles/Struts approach, I was really wanting to bring in JSF as well. I'm glad to see that someone is actively working on the integration components. I hope that the code modifications you propose make it into the Struts-Faces libraries soon.
One question. While I've been deveolping J2EE webapps for a couple of years now,
I'm still a little new to the Struts/Tiles arena. After reading your article at IBM developerWorks I wasn't able to ascertain whether or not what you proposed worked with the idea of individual controllers for each tile, which is a pattern that my project will need to adopt (I read about it in the short article here - http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=Tiles101).
Can you shed some light on the subject? Will the modifications you proposed allow Tiles to continue to work in that fashion?
-Matt Welch
Hi,
Currently JSF, Struts and Tiles cannot work together
out of the box.
Craig McClanahan has come up with Struts-Faces which
lets you integrate Struts and JSF. This is ideal for
projects who want to protect their code investment in
Struts and also want to take advantage of JSF once it
is final.
Unfortunately if you are also using Tiles, this is not
possible because of some showstoppers on your way. I
started on this venture a while back and ran into the
same problems and decided to write some code - on top
of Struts-Faces and was pretty successful.
I am sharing this knowledge with the rest of you with
this article of mine on IBM developerWorks
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-integra
e/
As already pointed out in this forum earlier, this
article covers the steps to integrate the three and
provides complete source code and also a working
example.
Hope you will find the article and the code useful.
Thanks,
Srikanth

Has JavaServer Faces reached beta?

I know---please forgive my sarcasm. (I'm sure you've been at this point, too, in your programming career. I'll just vent a little.) I've only spent several days trying to create a simple page I could have coded in a couple of hours in any given language---Java, C++, 80x86 assembler---but not JavaServer Faces.
Has anyone created any real applications in JSF? It's practically unusable in the real world. I'm about to throw it all away for JSP and JSTL. Here's why:
* I can't pass parameters to bean methods in the expression language.
* dataTable can't create <th> except in a header facet, and a header facet can't access data being iterated.
* There's no way to specify different styles for different <th> elements in a dataTable.
* There's no way to specify a unique style (rather than the simple alternating styles) for a dataTable row.
* JSF beans aren't available to the JSTL expression language unless you go through ugly hacks (such as outputting a JSF bean method to a dummy JSTL variable) to make sure the JSF backing beans get instantiated.
* If any non-JSF stuff (including JSTL, HTML, verbatim character data, or whatever) is present in a JSF page, one has to tediously make sure that a special, seemingly-arbitrary hierarchy of subviews are in place---and even then it's not clear if you're following the spec or just managed to randomly find a combination that worked. Otherwise, all the information gets rendered out of order and out of hierarchy.
* Don't even think about getting JSTL iteration elements to work with any of this.
* commandLink still doesn't work in JSF 1.1_01.
I'd go on, but I need to go back to taking JSF out of the single page I've been working on for days.
Thanks for listening,
Garret

* dataTable can't create <th> except in a header
facet, and a header facet can't access data being
iterated.I've no idea why the heck you think a header facet
should be able to access data that's being iterated.
That makes no sense to me at all. A header is
explicltly and, to me at least, obviously not part
of per-row iteration!Read both parts of that comment together---what I'm really wanting is to be able to get a <th>, and the only way to do that is with a header facet. Here's an example off the top of my head:
<h1>Book Metadata</h1>
<table>
<tr><th>Author</th> <td>Jane Doe</td></tr>
</table>
Here the row header is from a list of arbitrary book metadata---we don't know ahead of time what metadata properties the book has. Maybe it has two authors. Maybe it has five creation dates.
It seems as though your frustrations mostly boil
down to:
(1) You hate <h:dataTable>, and find it too limiting.
Well, it's one of the first JSF element's I've tried (after commandLink, of course). Maybe all of the others work just fine and are powerful.
(2) You're trying to mix JSTL and JSF, and are
surprised this doesn't work.
For #2, it's a known and much-documented thing, so I
can't understand why you're surprised.
However documented it is, I'm surprised that not only does JSF not offer equivalent functionality as JSTL, it removes the ability to use JSTL.

Visual web JavaServer Faces..?

i'm developing a visual web Javaserver Faces web application and i'm new to it. i designed a login page. i navigated the page to home page but i want to validate the username and password before the proceeds. do i have to use a loginbean? if so how do i do it?

My Dataout variable contains a long string of personal information. Information such as Name, Family name, Fathers name, Date of birth, National code, Nationality.
I want to make a personal information table with above mentioned information, whereas Name, Family name, Fathers name, Date of birth, National code, Nationality will be my column values. The number of its row depends on the times that the loop is repeated.
I can make a JTable by defining an array[6] as above, but this table doesnt appear in Visual Web javaServer faces framework. I want to be able to do what JTable does in the Table component in visual designer. Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance
